A Taste of St Marys Rapids

Nome — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 22:35:33 +0000

A kid in a candy shop. That is exactly how I feel about moving from the White Mountains of New Hampshire to living in the burbs of Sault Ste Marie, Michigan. From what I have gathered thus far the fishing opportunities here are endless with a robust number of species (both warm and cold water) […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

On Moving to New Waters

Michelle — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:51:07 +0000

If you haven’t heard the news yet, Reel North has moved! We are now officially Michigan residents. Let me be more specific…we are now Yoopers, or inhabitants of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. I have always been a Yooper. I was born and raised only 14 miles from where I now reside. But moving back here is […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

12wt. Gloves

Nome — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:04:30 +0000

What’s with the chartreuse gloves? Already the buzz has begun, Moldy Chum.com & WayUpStream.com have the teasers out, the waters are nervous with anticipation and for good reason in my opinion. This is the first of two glove styles that 12wt., a new brand in fly fishing, will have to offer in the near future. My first thought when […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Chasing Away The Winter Blues

Nome — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:30:32 +0000

Winter Bubble Lines

Nome — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:45:09 +0000

Ever wonder what these bubble lines are that are placed before a few dams on the Androscoggin River and why we only see them in the winter? Me too! So I posted the following image on the NH F&G Facebook page for an explanation as to what theses bubbles do for the river. It was explained to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Tracks

Nome — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:25:01 +0000

Moving along the riverbed, my friend's keen eyes survey the re-sculpted landscape. Trees throw their other-half shadows over the snowy field. Looking for fish to rise! Rise up! Greet the surface, expanding concentric circles outward, to touch the edges of hardened mud, stones strewn, crackle-decayed leaves. Where do the fish hide? And how can my […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Getting to Know Izaac Walton

Nome — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:57:26 +0000

Through James Prosek’s journey across the pond, we get to walk in Izaac’s footsteps virtually in this Video. I’ll be the first to say I’ve never read The Complete Angler. Not because I don’t own a copy, but because I have only just begun the pensive side of fishing. Thanks to Way Upstream and the WayUpstream YouTube Channel we have this stunning […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Pentax Optio, Keeps On Ticking…

Nome — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 21:27:45 +0000

I remember fishing before waterproof digital cameras were available and taking a big risk by tucking a non-waterproof digital camera into the top of my waders as I set off for my piscatorial adventures. But being relatively new to fly fishing at that time I fell victim to the “proof” of my endeavors. Then finally one […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Fly Fishing Mags Uncovered: Which one is right for you?

Michelle — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 17:02:02 +0000

You walk in to the grocery store magazine aisle, or into your nearest book store, and head straight to the outdoor sports section. In front of you are hundreds of glossy mags calling out…”Pick me! Pick me! Just thumb over my pages and you’ll want me.” You’re not looking for “big bucks” or the history […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...
